A major importer of sunglasses needed to have a large
shipment logistically moved from an origination port to Miami
and then to Sarasota, Florida, with a very tight time frame.
The client had made a sale to one of the largest retail chains
of sunglasses in the U.S. The chain needed these glasses for a
photo shoot on a specific date and there was no room for
error. Armen made the arrangements and forwarded the shipment
with time to spare. Since then, this importer will only trust
its shipments to Armen Cargo.
How do you import an Indian elephant to the U.S.? The
answer would normally be — you don't! But Armen was approached
by a religious order that needed to have an Indian elephant
brought into this country for its services. Despite the
unlikelihood of this happening, Armen worked together with The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency, the ASPCA and other U.S.
agencies to obtain the necessary permits. Quarantines had to
be arranged for, due to hay from a foreign nation being
brought in on the ship with the elephant. In the 11th hour,
with elephant waiting to be offloaded, it was realized that
one piece of paperwork was missing. Calls were quickly made
and the required permit was traced to the driver who was
arriving to take the elephant to its final home in W.
Virginia. Today, this is believed to be one of the only Indian
elephants ever brought in to the U.S. — delivered safe and
sound by Armen Cargo.
When one of the most prestigious music institutes in
this country needed to move its symphonic orchestra from the
U.S. to Germany, it turned to Armen Cargo. Armen arranged for
the shipment of over 125 valuable musical instruments
overseas, planned the logistics of getting the cargo from the
airport to the orchestra's various destinations once in
Germany and then shipped everything back to the U.S. Also,
Armen needed to liaison with a well known management company
who was promoting this tour. All along the way, not one
instrument was lost or damaged. And due to the unusual nature
of shipping such large and cumbersome cargo, Armen won the
approval of this management company to move future orchestras.
Since then, Armen has been hired by a symphony orchestra in
Germany to bring their cargo to the U.S. as well.
Importing and transporting perishable delicacies
require a special experience. A major international airline
needed to have Russian caviar for its 1st Class passengers.
The shipment had to be brought from Germany to the airline's
headquarters. Armen carefully and successfully arranged to
have the delicate cargo shipped to the U.S. and delivered with
no complications.
A famous watchmaker needed to entrust its valuable
cargo to a company that could ship the most intricate,
multiple movement watches with a worth of $6,000 to $10,000 a
piece! Armen had the experience to handle this type of fragile
cargo and was able to move the watches without a single
problem.
